Craniofacial surgery focuses on the correction of deformities of the bones of the skull and face. Less than 30 years ago medicine offered little hope to patients with severe craniofacial deformities.
Today, craniofacial surgery, undertaken by highly experienced teams, has profoundly changed the outlook for these patients and their families. That which was deemed impossible in the past is now a reality through advancements in medical technology and the skill of multidisciplinary professionals. Below are some of the treatable conditions affiliated with craniofacial surgery:
Non-syndromal Craniosynostosis (premature closure of the cranial sutures)
Aperts Syndrome
Carpenters Syndrome
Crouzons Syndrome
Pfieffers Syndrome
Saethre-Chotzen Syndrome
Treacher Collins Syndrome
